Coach
Lucy joined Crewe Flyers in 2016, aged 8 years, straight from the Learn to Swim Scheme at Crewe Lifestyle Centre into the Rising Stars Squad, coached by Adrian.
Over time, Lucy started entering galas and progressed through the squads. Since coming out of the Pandemic, Lucy has qualified for the Cheshire County Championships, Summer and Winter Regionals and went on to make the 2024 English Summer Nationals in all 3 Breaststroke events.
Lucy has taken part in most of the Sprint with the Stars events and has been fortunate enough to compete against Olympic Swimmers Molly Renshaw, Abbie Wood, Emily Large, Imogen Clark and Sydney Pickrem.
Lucy began volunteering for Crewe Flyers early in 2022 as part of her Chief Scout Gold Award. She completed the Swim England Young Volunteer Award in 2023. Not only has Lucy volunteered regularly for Crewe Flyers and both North-West Winter and Summer Regional Championships but also at the World Para Championships, held in Manchester in summer 2023.
Once Lucy had finished her GCSEs, in July 2024, she completed her Assistant Coaching qualification, followed by her Level 1 and Level 2 Swim Teaching qualifications. Lucy is currently the lead coach for both Club Stage 1 and 2 as well as teaching children on the Learn to Swim Scheme at Crewe Lifestyle Centre. Lucy balances coaching and teaching swimming with her education and own swim training.
